What $5,000 in BNB in 2022 became
Resilient in the downturn. BNB fell from ~$530 to about $240 during the bear market, but held up better than most large-cap coins.
If you had put $5,000 into BNB at the start of 2022 — buying around $527 per BNB on January 01, 2022 — you would have acquired roughly 9.4823 BNB. At today's price of $606, that position is worth about $5,747, a return of +15% (1.1x your money).
Lump sum vs dollar-cost averaging
The figure above assumes a single lump-sum buy at the start of 2022. If you had instead spread that same $5,000 into equal weekly purchases from 2022 until today, it would be worth about $7,510. Lump sum usually wins when you happen to buy near a market low, while dollar-cost averaging lowers your risk of buying right before a crash. There's no single right answer — it depends on the entry point and your risk tolerance.
